Detailed information
Vintage
This year, the harvest was a bit later than usual. As everywhere else, the June heat wave and the summer drought resulted in lower yields. Fortunately, quality remained high. Finally, the storms in July and August allowed the grapes to reach optimum ripeness. This rainfall did not make up for the drought however, which resulted in smaller, concentrated berries with intense aromas and flavours.
Grape varieties
50% Grenache, 50% Syrah
Terroir
Grenache grapes come from gentle slopes, made of safres and Miocene marls, covered with colluvium, to the north east of the appellation. Syrah grapes are from the alluvial terrace of the “Garrigues”, covered with pebbles from the Quaternary period, on the western side of the appellation.
Winemaking
Harvest of Syrah grapes from 16th Sept. and Grenache grapes from 19th Sept. The perfect control of the temperatures (25/26°C) during the fermentation and maceration (22 days) phases highlighted remarkably elegant red fruit aromas and flavours. The cuvée is aged in tanks for 9 months. Bottled on July 22nd, 2020: 23 093 bottles and 391magnums.Vegan Friendly.
